This came at a point when she was also almost giving up on her music career.

"I had really given up and I had moved on, well-knowing that music is not for me," said Kasita while appearing on Galaxy TV, adding that that she was thinking of starting a beauty salon.

Then she fell in love with someone who was willing to bankroll her music career.

"But then, that's when I met somone-someone in my life," she said, adding that before she wasn't dating as she was fully focused on music.

"All this time I had no time for those things -- relationships; then I met someone, who would give me time and listen to me... It's not easy."

She asserted: "The first time I fell in love my whole life."

Karole Kasita said he would ask her how much she had and he would top up. The first money for the video she got from him was for 'Gyal A Buble'.

She had Shs1 million, he told her to make 1.5 million and he contributed the other half. They paid Shs3 million for the video.

Carol Kasita was born to Fred Kagwa Kasita and Jane Kagwa, and raised in Maganjo, Kawempe. Her father passed when she was still young.

Kasita went to Gayaza Junior School, Ndejje S.S.S, St Joseph's S.S. Nagalama, Kibibi S.S. and Makerere University Business School (MUBS) where she obtained a diploma in Entrepreneurship.

Her involvement in music started when she was in school and in A-level she was crowned the best dancer in the whole school.

She launched into professional music while at university after teaming up with a friend called Sherry to form a duo called Cash O2, a portmanteau of their name, with the O2 standing for them being a duo.

Their song was a producer called Katoke who is now out of the country. Hassan of Hasz Media listen to their song and introduced them to Eddy Mpagi of Ngoni who had now turned into a producer at his studio Good Enough Studios.

He wrote for them a song titled Banana and it was well-received.

Sherry got pregnant and quit music, and Karole Kasita also took a break from singing, as she was still at school.

When she resumed, she joined S&S Band before convincing her friend Geosteady to help her make more of her gift of singing. He agreed to start moving with her and give her exposure.

He helped her record and write More Time, which became a comeback song.
